Kentucky Tobacco Interests Stirred up.
AN EXPLANATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE.
An Associated Press dispatch from Louisville,
KY, dated yesterday, states: "The July report of
the Agricultural Bureau at Washington under the
management Of Commissioner Norman 1. Colman,
has stirred up tobacco interests all over the State
The report puts the tobacco crop at s2 per cent of
an average, while it is well known to all who
have paid any attention to the matter that it
cannot be more than half SO large. The Louisville
and Hopkinsvtlle boards Of trade have protested
against this report as exceedingly hurtful to the
tobacco interests generally, and TO the farmer
especially. Resolutions have already been drawn
up and adopted setting forth In effect the known
facts"
In the absence OF the Commissioner STAR re-
porter called to-day on Mr.. Dodge, the statistcian
OF the department., and asked him for his opinion
OF the dispatch. He stated that the dispatch mis-
states the figures Of the preliminary report on the
tobacco area; that the average 81 refers, not to
the Kentucky area, nor even TO the Western area,
but to that Of the whole country, including the
cigar-leaf States Chose of the NOrth), and that
the investigation now in progress by the depart
ment Will settle authorttatively the question OF
shortage OF tobacco area,

TO Benefit the Citizen Soldiers.
REGULAR TROOPS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CHICAGO
DRILL.
The Secretary Of War is inclined to grant the
request OF the officers Of the Chicago drill Of the
National Guard, to be held1n october, to have the
regular Army well represented on that occasion.
Gen. Sheridan Will return next week and the mat
ter VIII then be finally acted upon. There
Is no doubt that the Leutenant-G General
Will be in favor of the plan, and
In all probability regiment or more Of infan-
try, two battalions OF artillery and couple OF
squads OF cavalry will be ordered to Chicago to
take part In the encampment. There is growing
desire throughout the country to have regular
troops go into camp with the militia 1t is held
that the citizen soldiers can learn more about
military matters in camp by few days asSocia-
tion with regular soldiers than by months of
theoretical work. Permission has already been
granted for United States soldiers to go into camp
with militia in Mississippi and Nebraska, and
probably all of the army that is available will be
In dema nd next summer. The War Department
officials are evidently desirous Of doing all In their
power to benefit the citizen soldiers.

The police commission met again last
night and had what one of the commission
ers termed spirited" session. and it was
altogether evident, judging from certain re-
marks and indications, that the meeting
amounted to 4 four-cornered fight. with
Mayor AmeS in the middle. The cause of
discussion is the question as to the right OF
the commission TO organize new police
force. The mayor claims that, according
to the law, no member of the
force can be removed except for cause, and
then only upon the unanimous vote of four
commissioners. 1t was claimed by Com
missioner Baker that the law contemplated
that new force should be organized. The
mayor agreed with this, and said he knew
that the commission was created Tor the
purpose of reOrganiZing or rather disorgan-
iZing the force, but that fortunately the
architect of the law had SO framed it that it
def Gated this intention. lie said further
that while he was a member OF the commits
sion he was also mayor of the city and in
duty bound to enfore the state laws. This
law, which says that none of the present
police force shall be removed except for
cause, he meant to see enforced. The dis
crssion was long and acrimonious one,
but did not result in any agreement. 1t is
evident that fight is on. and that there
will be music in the air before the grass be-
comes green. The statements of the DO
licemen were received and referred to the
committee on appointments and discipline,
together with numerous applicationsifor
appointment on the force. Another at
tempt was made to elect police sergeant,
but there was no choice. The commission
meets again tonight.

DR.. S. S. Kilvington, the new health
officer, qualified yesterday and at once
assumed control of the Office. He has
thoroughly posted himself on the law and
takes the position with full sense of the
responsibility it carries with it. He said
yesterday:
If the sanitary condition of the city is not
made all it could be desired it will not be be-
cause earnest work is lacking. The system
heretofore has been imperfect, as we'll

board of health. There does not seem to be
any such board just now, and the inspectors
did not half do their duty. l would like all
persons having complain to communicate
direct to me, and will see that it is attended
to. The inspectors will have to
report every day, and must each
day return report of their work.
If they are the right kind of men, and
do their work, the people will have nothing
to complain of. AS it stands. the law is not
perfect, and / will ask council to make some
changes. The policemen should be COM
PEELED to report all nuisances on their beats,
and to act in full conjunction with the health
authorities. All of this I expect to secure in
time, but at first I will devote myself to
placing the Office work in order and in organ
1zing the board of health. This board,
think, instead of being composed of two
aldermen and two citizens, should be COM
posed of two aldermen and two practicing
physicians

tie weakness of their position, and, with in
tent to avoid the inevitable decision of the
courts, ousting them and seating the gentle
men who were elected to the position by the
votes of the people, have decided to resign
and trust to Gov. McGill to appoint them to
the same position. OF all men, our judges
should not attempt to evade the plain pro-
visions and intent of our constitution and
laws, and our citizens will look with especial
distrust upon those judges who make such
attempt with the evident design to promote
their own interests, and so it should be.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

Health Officer kILvINGToN enters his Of
6ce imbued with the right spirit. Without
Intending to cast any reflections upon his
predecessor. it must be said this department
has not received the thorough attention its
Importance would warrant. The ordinance
has never been regarded and enforced in
many Important particulars. The board of
health has become standing joke-at least
the joke is all there is 10 it. Minneapolis is
very peculiarly and somewhat unfortun-
ately located, geographically. making
sewer drainage difficult and expensive and
its growth has been so rapid that ithas been
quite impossible to keep the sewer system
Improvements up to the same pace. 1t is
doubtful if there is another city IN the Union,
OF anything approaching its size, that is so
poorly provided with drainage facilities.
For this no one is to blame, but it is all the
greater reason why existing provisions for
securing the public health should be rigidly
enforced. This is what DR.. KILvINGToN
proposes to do and in which he asks hearty
public cooperation and assistance.
